El Calafate: 4 de Octubre

I did it. I planned it, booked it, paid for it, and made it all happen exactly how I wanted it to. I'm on the plane now thats going to take me home to the land, or the city rather (there's no land there at all) of noise and air pollution swarming with pretentious portenos. It was a lovely lazy weekend. I made lots of connections with friendly people I will probably, well certainly never see again. But we shared our travels and adventures and times of rest together passing through the world and each others' lives breifly... kinda like the Patagonian wind that carries itself from the salty Pacific high over the Andes depositing its moisture on frozen peaks in exchange the alpine chill that it in turn disburses over the grey expansive steppe of South America.

Give and take and move on.

  1. I'm glad you made it! El Calafate is one of the most extraordinary places on earth with its impressive glaciers, specially Perito Moreno! Great info at: http://www.hoteltraveltour.com/argentina/el-calafate-santa-cruz.html
